Bryan Hulbert – CANEY, Kan. (October 8, 2022) Wrapping up the Bordertown Throwdown Saturday night at Caney Valley Speedway, Frank Flud swept stock competition while Carson Bolden made it a two-win weekend with the Lucas Oil National Open Wheel Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division.
Win No. 69 in A-Class, Flud took off from the right of the front row and outran J.J. Loss for the win. Giving the No. 81 a couple of taps to the bumper on a Lap 12 restart, that was as close as Loss would get as Flud ran away by 1.488-seconds. Colton Robinson crossed third, with Keegan Osantowski fourth. Up from eighth, Alex Karpowicz made it to fifth.
A weekend sweep in Non-Wing, Flud’s 56th wingless win likewise came from the top of the front row. A dominating performance, the gap at the finish was 4.027-seconds over Keegan Osantowski. Third went to Alex Karpowicz, with J.J. Loss rolling 11th to fourth. Fredric Fezard completed the top five.
Slated to start third in Restricted, two false starts moved the No. 2b of Carson Bolden to the point, and he took full advantage of it. Chased by Jett Nunley, the driver docked for the false start, the No. 33 in second was followed by Garyn Howard. Jace Wren, Landon Jesina, and Dale Johnston made up the field.
The Lucas Oil National Open Wheel Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division will be part of the Keith Kunz Giveback Classic at Port City Raceway, happening Thursday, October 20 through Saturday, October 22, with the Restricted division running under the NOW600 banner.
